Cowan invites Saddam to Shannon

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday February 05, 2003 10:53author by James McKenna

Minister for Foreign Affairs Brian Cowan said today that the Iraqi airforce can refuel at Shannon Airport! He also said the planes would be searched .

Biffo made this faux pas while trying to silther out his admission of not checking the US planes. He said he did not expect the Iraqis to land at Shannon but I would hazard guess that if Saddam has any old jet at all and he hears of Biffos open offer to land and refuel unchecked he will not be able to resist.
